HI everyone, Is it possible to hinder weight loss by not eating enough? MY little boy has not been well past few days so been unable to get to shops for fruit veg etc. HAVe been eating what was there....mainly toast and beans, used my syns for Chinese delivery and a chocolate bar. It has got me thinkin that I will needed to eat Extra fruit etc to try play catch up...what are your thoughts on not eating enough? x x

Hi, not sure how SW works but general rule is that if you eat way below your bmr for an extended period of time, your body goes into starvation mode and weight loss actually decreases with your body responding by using lean mass ie muscle) as a fuel.

However, an increased deficit over a couple of days shouldn't pose a problem unless your "normal" days also have huge deficits.
